06 R3
As a 06 owner I feel Horrified you feel your bike is to old ...where do I start with this ???general question for the community..My 2006 rocket is 100% stock...sadly--money has always been an issue and I'm lucky to have this bike..no problems at all in 11 years now..would like to afford a newer model rocket-most likely a roadster and do some of the mods I read about in the forums...this is unlikely for now--but doing mods on my 06 might be possible...question is--what considerations are there when talking about a bike this age?is it too old?what mods might you recommend for modest increase in hp-performance and sound? and cost?
any info is appreciated..ps...I'm not a wrencher so would have the work done for me....don
first things first you own a engineering and design classic that will never age or go out of fashion your bike is representative of the vision that the triumph designers had the balls to build in the first place when the motorcycle and automotive world were using words like mass centralisation and environmentally friendly .
Your bike is the original concept that whole world looked at in disbelief before other versions such a the touring and roadster watered it down for the sake of more sales
would you consider a big block late 60's GM car to old to modify ? no neither would the Boys at Gas Monkey !
The term muscle bike may have been coined for other lesser bikes but there is only one true muscle bike and that's the triumph Rocket lll... there no replacement for displacement ...go big or go home
Your bike is exactly that ...yours you don't need to spend thousands to make it your own there are endless possibility's for mods and tuning
I have seen hundreds of R3's and no two have ever really been the same .
Be a biker ...see your vision BUILD IT and ride it with PRIDE
Rant over .
